Looking to come out and fish for a week or so in May 4-11th or so...wanting to catch numbers of 3lb smallies. Lived in the west and use to catch a lot of them but now live in TX and needing some smallmouth action. Looking for a lake where we can catch numbers and rent a decent cabin closeby and find a boat to rent. If have to, I can hire a great guide, if can not locate a boat to rent. Greatly appreciate your help as have not fished NY before. Thought about trying to do Erie and saw Chatauqua whcih could be a good place to catch some fish with the wife and then maybe I coudl get a guide for 2 days on Erie....thoughts or better recommendations?
THANK YOU
